Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree of this variety is vigorous, large, reaching a height of 3–7 meters, and has a dense canopy with dark green glossy foliage. The variety was obtained by radiation mutation of the Ruby Red variety.

The fruits are large and have thin to medium rinds with a pinkish hue. The flesh is characterized by a deep red color, high juiciness, and a near-complete absence of seeds. Harvesting begins in December, with the fruits maintaining their quality on the tree until July.

The plant has broad adaptability to growing conditions but requires protection from severe frosts. The variety is intended for fresh consumption, juice production, and culinary use.
